Need for Speed Underground

Strengths: The closest thing to authentic street raceing. Graphics, cars, diffeculty, Its great

Weakness: dificulty. Gets hard at times. You cant just buy parts, you have to win them...

Great game. What can I say. I bought PGR 2. Boreing! How can someone build a game with such good graphics and not apply the one factor that all racers want, MODS! We want to modify and customize! This game lets us. There are times when this game will piss you off though! The cars are great, but I wish they had actual specs. Gran Turismo 4 comes out next year, and it well dominate. If Xbox want to...

tuner time!

Strengths: Excellent customization. Good soundtrack. Just an all around fun racing game.

Weakness: No online multiplayer or custom soundtracks.

Need for Speed Underground is a racing game that's like the movie Fast and the Furious. You get to customize your car any way you like. The combinations are endless. There are plenty of decals and parts to choose from. As for the actual racing part of the game, it is excellent. The cars handle well, especially when you upgrade them. There is a good sense of speed as well, especially when you use...

.

Strengths: Excellent graphics

Weakness: AI cheats sometimes, especially in the later races

Have you seen the underground racing movie "The Fast and the Furious"? I think that this game's creators did first before they created this game because it really portrays the breakneck sense of speed and excitement of the movie. I really did feel like I was racing illegally in some urban street, especially due to the excellent graphics and ambient sound effects. This game does a great job of...

Need For Speed: Underground

Strengths: -Great intro to Import Cars -Nice use of graphics, showcasing lighting and car models -5.1 Sound is amazing -Great for racing fans

Weakness: -No free roam -Can get you frustrated easily, like why does a civic beat a skyline -Needs more accesories and cars

I bought this game since I am a racing fan. I knew about the import scene so this game was comfortable with me. I loved the graphics, sound, and feel of it. EA really did a great job of showcasing speed. What I mean is if you are going 175mph then you really are going at that speed. They are very little things that shy it away from perfection like what I mentioned in the weaknesses, but the...

Need for Speed Underground

Strengths: Amazing customization, Great sense-of-speed, Best Street Racing experience

Weakness: No Xbox Live, Not a whole lot of tracks

Need for Speed Underground is by far the best street racer available on the market. You start the game as a no-name street racer. To get more respect, you win more races. There are race types such as drift, sprint, drag, circuit, knockout, ECT. By winning races, you gain points that unlock more features and allow to upgrade your car even further. You can customize your car in many ways such as...

Need for Speed Underground

Strengths: Good graphics and sound, good multiplayer

Weakness: None apparent

Need For Speed Underground is a very good simulation of street racing and car mods. The game looks nice with good graphics, sounds good, and plays well. There are plenty of areas to race in, and with each race, the chance to win car upgrades. Multiplayer gives the game some nice replay value. Racing fans that like to mod cars should give this one a look.

Need for Speed Underground

Strengths: Graphics and sound very realistic Multiplayer capabilities

Weakness: While graphics are good, the next version should use HDTV capabilities and allow more than2 players

We bought this for my son who lives and dies for cars (he's 8). The choice of cars was awesome as there were dozens to choose from. Being able to move through the city offered much more variety than the basic racetrack variety car game. I would recommend this to anyone at any level.
